[오병상의 코멘터리] Jung Kyung-sim sentenced to medium sentence.. Don’t attack the judge.

One.
The middle sentence fell to Professor Chung Gyeong-shim of Dongyang University, the wife of former Justice Minister Cho Kook.

The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Agreement Department (presiding judge Lim Jeong-yeop) sentenced Jeong Gyeong-shim to four years in prison and imprisoned in court on the 23rd. Up to 500 million fines and 140 million additional fines…

In his tweet,’It is shock. It looks like we have to walk more thorns. I will appeal.’

2.
From the contents of the judgment, there are four main reasons for the drop in the medium sentence.

First, he admitted guilty to all false documents for entrance exams for daughters, such as a citation from the Tong Yang Grand Chancellor.
‘Considering irregularities in the entrance exam, the crime of the crime is not good.. It has resulted in unfair results in which other candidates fail.’

3.
Second, most of them were guilty of illegal property growth and concealment.

‘(Regarding illegal investment using undisclosed information) a serious crime that shakes the market economy..As a wife of a high-ranking public official, even though he is obligated to report sincerely according to the Public Officials Ethics Act…

4.
Third, I am partially guilty of the evidence destruction teacher who instructed me to hide the evidence related to the above two crimes.

‘When the investigation (related to the private fund) began, he instructed (to his younger brother) to destroy the evidence and interfered with the investigation.’

5.
Lastly, it is’always lying’.

‘Canonical mind inflicted mental pain on the person who tells the truth.’
‘People who made a statement of corruption accused him of making false claims for political and personal purposes.’
‘I have never admitted and reflected on my fault.’

6.
When the trial ended, ruling party politicians and supporters immediately began to attack the judge.

Open Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Jin-ae tweeted, “Not guilty of private equity. Concealment of evidence is also innocent, but sentenced to 4 years for forgery of citations?’
It is as if he was sentenced to a medium sentence of 4 years because of one citation from Dongyang University. It is a distortion of facts.
Only some private equity and evidence concealment are innocent. The guilty part is bigger. There are also many more forged documents besides the citation.

7.
There are also many political offensives that connect with Yoon Seok-yeol.

Rep. Kim Yong-min (the Democratic Party) said,’This is exactly what Yun Suk-yeol aimed at through the judge’s inspection.’
It is a nuance that the prosecution forces the prosecution through the prosecution and the judge gives the prosecution side. It is a shoulder club.

8.
This agitation from the political world is amplified by Internet comments from pro-government netizens.
Personal attacks against judges and sales of the judiciary are overflowing.

At last, former judge Lee Tan-hee (and the Democratic Party) cried out,’Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo betrayed judicial reform.
Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo is a code greeting that the current administration decided and upheld… even that is treated as a’traitor’.

9.
I am concerned that distrust in the judiciary will spread further.
Trust is vital because the judiciary is the last bastion responsible for the’law of law’ that everyone agreed to believe.
It is dangerous to promote distrust by politicians.
The judgment must be respected.
